Stocking Stuffers Under $5

I’m usually pretty on top of organizing my Christmas shopping list but for some reason I always leave stocking stuffers to the last minute. Why? Why do I do that to my poor mama heart?!? For me, stocking prep can be a little overwhelming, and often, quite expensive! I think that’s why I push it off to the the very end. But, these stocking stuffer ideas, all under $5, are sure to please the kid crowd and rounding up these ideas has me well on my way to completing stockers before December 1st if I’m lucky!

Play-Doh Plus – Regular Play-Doh has gotten an upgrade that is softer and smoother. Buy a pack and divide it up between the littles with a pack of cookie cutters of Play-Doh fun!

Emoji Stickers – Stickers are always a win, but these emoji ones are extra fun!

I’ve noticed that many of the prices fluctuate on Amazon as we near the holidays so be sure to open a Camel Camel Camel account to track your wish list and jump when it hits the best price. And, be sure to browse Target’s Dollar Spot and the Dollar Store for great stocking stuffers too! I love adding little packs of tissue, coloring books, puzzles, glow sticks, and, of course, an orange and candy to my kids’ stockings.
